Awakening to Earth’s Call through Soul Collage offers a quiet afternoon in-person-only gathering for intuition-driven creativity, informed by the season and the moment in the Jewish year. Participants assemble collages from Mishkan’s collection of visual images; journaling and sharing allow the collages to unfold their personal meaning.

What does it mean to be b'tselem elohim (Genesis 1:27)? Humans are made "in an image/likeness" of the Divine Creator, which I interpret to mean everyone has the capacity for creative expression and the divine is reflected in everything we create. We'll explore the power of artistic practice to give us insight and a sense of connectedness. By using different mediums (such as creative writing, painting, and movement) we'll strive for a playful vulnerability and a multifaceted understanding of ourselves as creative beings. This class meets for 7 sessions, which correspond to the seven weeks of the Omer. Each week we'll use the wisdom of the sefirot to guide our creative exploration. No prior experience or skills required. This class is designed for absolute beginners, experienced artists, and anyone in between. Materials are included in the cost of the class.

"A delightful calm, creative set of evenings to artfully awaken the spirit." - Nancy Post
